I have a column of about 500 cells that contains different strings of words
(.e. "product download", "product video", "product documentation"). I would like to create a formula such that Excel will tell me if the the string contains "download", "video", or "documentation" and assign a value to each of those (i.e. if the cell contains document then Excel would assign a "d" or "1" and if it contains "video" it will assign a "v" or "2"). Thus far I can only use the = sign in formulas (i.e. IF=) and this allows me to consider the all the content in the cell and not an option for "contains either." Also, the conditional formatting does not seem to work as I need nested formulas and do not want a color. Thanks in advance |
